What are the issues with it mate ?

are your sure its a mighty mig (sealey) and not a top mig (sip)

sorry you are correct it is a migmate 130 ,sip.

the problem is a very inconsistant wire feed somtimes fast others not. then it may jam and break the wire going into the liner.the wire seems to feed pretty well until it gets to the torch and then it gets tight but maybr thats normal ?

Have you renewed the tip and the liner, that's the first place to start, the wire shouldn't be snapping near the rollers make sure the liner is. As close to the rollers as
Possible without touching
